Sleep

Sleep.
I rest easy, deeply, as the ether
rolls over my body; I fall away from
the great realm of the conscious, and
into the marked slumber of the
anesthetized.

Colours.
Spinning through my head like 
upturned pots of paint; Flying through
the air, they spray their hues and 
bright tones everywhere as I lay
comatose.

Dreams.
Once more my brain confuses me
with strangeness; pictures that sit
emblazoned on the walls of my 
subconscious.  Just another way I
visualize.

Why?  Because I took leave of my
mind and my control, my body and 
my soul, and I never wished to be
anymore than a shell for a spirit
to live inside of.  Do you know me?
